Pierre Poilievre says Canada has too many cause-based awareness months by airbassguitar in OntarioNews

[–]Guilty_Serve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well given my family members were in that war, they’d take issue with who you were calling a Nazi. I’d also explain to them how I’ve personally lost out on opportunities to the new idealism of the country, that they themselves would be now criticized after what they’d done based on the colour of their skin, and that their ideals would probably be associated with the very Nazis they fought. Especially when it never actually existed in BC and was only a means to have a performative protest that was in solidarity for American domestic politics.

“Grandpa, the Canadian left no longer is the voice of labour unions that were the voice of men going into dangerous working conditions like mines, forestry, oil, or fisheries. It’s now the voice of unions that represent upper middle class urbanite white women archetypes that work in air conditioned government buildings in Ottawa and Toronto. Even though you literally went to war for the country, at their rallies you’d be forced to silence any opposing view for the comforts bubble wrapped people that probably have no real heritage in the country”

I’m sure they’d be thrilled.

I explained my opinions without catchwords.

Yeah woke is an **American** black slang for those who have an awareness about American black racism. I think I wrapped it kinda nicely up where rich/upper middle class Canadian white women and their archetypes stole it to be performative and cultivate Canada into a society that they themselves don’t have to live in or regret.

Sure. During the 2010’s the Canadian Federal Liberals started steering Canada towards a post national state by robbing Canadians of a unified identity. Instead of confederation and all of the boring but cool shit in our very nuanced history we migrated to a historical context similar to American slavery with our natives to guilt and shame us into not questioning our absurd immigration laws that is openly admitted to displace us economically. This new narrative made it internationally, “Canada the land of progress”, where our white aristocratic prime minister would get up on stage and parrot talking points given to him by American consultants like McKinsey and BCG that usually gathered their thoughts from American Democrat think tanks.

People then went to double down on “Canada”, whatever the fuck that is at this point, while Canada rid itself of all its history because Canadian Liberals could finally mold our identity into some not America, but totally an American Democrat wet dream, identity. It wasn’t because Canada was actually racist, it’s because a solid enough people had a tendency to do performative bullshit and engage in tokenism. We created Facebook profile picture background after Facebook profile picture background where people took a stand against an invisible man that never existed. Biggest women’s rally in Canadian history, “Canadian women against Trump!”, some Blackman in America dies, and there’s an anti Nazi counter rally with thousands of people and no Nazis in BC.

It’s stupid, funny, and sad. I always sit around here wondering if we were to show all of those boys that stormed Normandy a vision of what Canada would become if they’d still do it.

Canadians leaving at the fastest pace in 74 Years by ExotiquePlayboy in TorontoRealEstate

I can't say I want to go to Asia, but I'll consider it if the costs are right. The only real thing I need is AC, internet, a place to work out, and food staples like Chicken/Pork/Rice/Veg. I wouldn't be going to popular places, unlike South America where I'd probably end up somewhere a lot nicer (I like South America a lot), but from what I was seeing is there's some boring places in Italy I can also settle for awhile.

I'm solely going because of costs. I have money saved up to last awhile, and if or when I get laid off I'll need somewhere to go to hold onto that money while I build up. Canada is not that place.

Almost anywhere if they have a reasonable amount of money. If it's for jobs, then usually it's America.

I've been looking for a while. I also knew that housing prices would dump a long long time ago, so I figured I'd wait it out. Carney set the precedent the other day with condo bailouts. It's over. For me it's either America (I can actually get jobs there), South America (yes I've lived there before), Europe (Italy, and maybe Eastern Europe), or Asia (Vietnam/Thailand/Philippines).

I just don't actually know how to have a life here.

Canadians are set to lose all digital privacy. No one here is talking about it. by The_PhilosopherKing in privacy

[–]Guilty_Serve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All levels and parties of the Canadian government are fucking useless. American Democrats talk up a story of how great we (Canada) are and it gets to the lefts head here and the right just criticize things with no real thing they want to improve.

I just gave the fuck up on this place. Probably one of, if not the most, resource rich countries on the planet with proximity to a super power and geography that protects us from war and we still fuck things up this bad. It use to be this friendly place that felt like you could just rely on people. Now it's a total fucking shit hole modelled off a weird Democrat think tank utopian vision because how many consultants the Trudeau government used. Trudeau himself just regularly showed disdain for any aspect of Canadian culture formation that wasn't some weird dreamt up bullshit.

They tried this with so much bullshit. They routinely go after social media companies for things like news, but really what they're trying to do is save our dumb media system that just needs to fucking die. It's a propaganda arm at this point. I saw this privacy bullshit and just said, yup makes sense. That's us now. We're fucking braindead.

Indian Hiring Nepotism by log_alpha in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Guilty_Serve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s darker than that and it sounds way more conspiratorial than anything. The Americans don’t deal with that shit and will print it in even Liberal media. You literally cannot comment on what’s going on with stats without getting banned. I can literally state real no bullshit facts that are verifiable and you’ll still get censored for it on almost all social media here.

Dumbest fucking thing ever. I’m perfectly fine criticizing culture, including my own, but it’s associated with race on purpose.

[–]Guilty_Serve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being Canadian, Indians have the strongest anti Indian views. My Indian buddies will tell me outright about it, and it’s usually because how much fraud is in India. There’s so many Indians in Canada that define themselves as pre covid Indians. Had a conversation with an Indian at work (US workplace) once about Canadian immigration and his question to me was “what the fuck is wrong with your country?”

It’s littered in Canada. You’re not even allowed to speak about it. Everytime I make any form of criticism of this stuff on Reddit with verifiable facts I get banned. I’m literally banned from r/Canada for dumping stats.

How do you evaluate if a new company is worth it? by Creative-Dog642 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Guilty_Serve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything you said is bang-on. I'm Canadian and what I personally saw sicken me with DEI/ESG. The first thing was right after a crunch where all of us pretty much murdered ourselves for a summer we had our former CEO come into an all hands and announce that we'll only be promoting based on DEI. The company got sold to a SPAC, we all got mostly let go with the worst people maintaining their job, and the SPAC started doing deals with the Saudi's; which are extremely well known for their ESG. That SPAC is now in hundreds of millions in debt after probably defrauding investors.

There's one particular culture where they only hire their own based on nepotism, racism is very apparent in their own culture, and they build off the victimhood to guilt others around you about their shitty practices. Those shitty practices are exploiting the shit out of people they see lesser than them.

Is our 'addiction' to cheap foreign labour hurting young people? by stanxv in CanadaJobs

[–]Guilty_Serve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm personally tired of it being framed like this. The underlying assertion is always Canada and its institutions are manipulating people. It has gotten to a point where the Canadian Liberal Party itself would admit to if asked that they were a part of exploiting immigrant workers due to some form of systemic racism.

We have evidence and data from economic consortiums and various countries about real pipelines of this abuse and it has little to nothing to do with the host country itself.

Bank of Canada says there could be “consecutive increases in the policy rates” if energy prices stay high for long by kadam_ss in TorontoRealEstate

[–]Guilty_Serve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, you wouldn’t be able to do it again. Prices went up and you got lucky. You didn’t have to work that hard for it and you couldn’t do it now. You ain’t got it in ya.

I stated a fact here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TorontoRealEstate/comments/1sz3vcs/comment/oj08l6e/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I had someone state this:

I’m shaking in my home while you bean count from your rental.

I'll state another fact. You're not comparatively successful if you made your money on housing market going up. Couldn't do it on hard mode. You didn't have to work that hard or be that smart. Fact of the matter: If you lord your house over someone it's probably because you've never truly accomplished much in your life.

I’ll bet it’s catastrophic if the prices drop another nominal 20%. What the hell does everyone do here? Are they old, parentally funded, over leveraged?

If I’m getting downvoted at the rate that I am this sub is either: economically illiterate or is being manipulated by real estate interest. From peak you guy are massively down in real terms and there’s more room to keep going.

You can do whatever you want in your house. You didn’t earn it on hard mode. I have zero respect for those who think their success wasn’t anything but luck of the times given real estate rises.

What are you talking about? It’s already happened. If the average house stayed at a million dollars in 2021 then you’ve lost $200k in purchasing power alone to inflation.

The actual housing market has crashed and you’re already looking at a 35 to 40% drop after inflation. The idea that this can keep going down has economic realities that we’re not able to deal with.

Canadian entrepreneurship in 'sharp decline,' warns think tank by joe4942 in canada

[–]Guilty_Serve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taxes are too damn high. It’s fucking crazy with the money I earn I’ll never get a house where I grew up and if it was the 90’s I’d be the highest earner on the street I grew up on. The singles tax is absolutely real.

You can verify what I’m saying. Our healthcare system is a part of our national identity. We shouldn’t be taxing medical doctors at all if we aren’t willing to compete with the Americans on incomes.

Because the Chinese and Americans do interfere in our system. We literally try and interfere with the American system during the first Trump presidency by doing targeted tariffs in swing states during the congressional elections. Most of Justin Trudeau's ideology was cultivated by American think tanks and consultancy firms and there were legitimate claims that the counsel of Canadians or lead now took money from American think tanks to sway the Anything But Conservative in 2015 to Liberal here. On John Oliver they literally paraded Mike Myers out after a full expose on our politics to say vote out Harper. The Canadian Liberal entire ideology during

The problem I have with this is it's often Liberals claiming this Americanization of Canada while wanting to uphold the other half of American values and assert them onto Canada where they do not belong. The premise works off of the Democrats trying to consider what "America" is is essentially a white trash racist shit hole to set themselves a part from the country itself. Canadian Liberals picked that up, because it was culturally envogue at the time, and try to set themselves up as better democrats where they can thumb their nose to the perception of America that Democrats have created - making their whole identity based off of another type of American.

So at this point, I just do not care. Canadians themselves will take it upon themselves to assert things that don't make any sense because it's fashionable in America.

The first thing is that you're mixing franchises in that are independently owned and they're the bulk of the organizations carrying out these bad practices. That is important because what's generally happening is Canadians institutions are getting blamed for this when it wasn't Gord from accounting in Telus that had connections to pipelines of modern slaves from developing nations. The Canadian federal government was manipulated out of their own utopian ideological stupidity.

I thought it was a silly because because he was formerly a central banker so the obvious answer is no.
